Throgs Neck Bridge

The Throgs Neck Bridge is a suspension bridge that links the Bronx borough to the Queens borough of New York City. The bridge is 2,910 feet long, and it opened for public use on 11 January 1961. The bridge allowed for motorists to avoid having to use the more busy Triborough Bridge, and it was a fast and convenient alternative to larger and more important bridges. In 2008, the bridge charged each motorist $5 to cross, later rising to $8 by 2016.
